Hang-On 'Journey to the Finish'

Night tight techno track, with racecar and announcer samples that seem to be obligatory in a remix of a racing game. Nothing too innovative, but enjoyable. If I had to nitpick one thing I would say that it needs a deeper bass.

Wow, I like this one. It's got a nice beat to it. it's just.... Amazing!!!

personally I didn't liked this one... it's just too simple... the beat is too simple.. and very very repetitive... at the first 2:00 I got bored of it. but I liked the lead and the way it was used.. makes me remember me playing this oldie

Hmm. for what its worth, it does belong on OCR. But I just didnt like it too much. I guess what makes me upset with this remix is the synths and loopness.

The leads just seem too dry. I thought the drum samples were a bit dry too. Its arranged well for a techno remix, however I feel its not produced well enough. This is why I stay away from doing techno, its not as easy as it may sound to produce.

What could have made this remix better would be re-engineering all the synths, make the fat, make the percussions wet, etc. Its still an 'ok' arrangement nonetheless, but 6min is too long with constant melody loopage.

This little ditty gave me chills. My best friend and I used to stay up all night playing this game until our little geek hearts were content. I still have my SMS, but I can't find my mega cartridge for this game :( Anyhow I think this is great. Kudos!

Excellent! The original piece was one of my favorite video game songs of all time, but was in dire need of a remix. Ryu7x answered my call with a wonderful techno mix. I especially love the part around 1:20, when the motorcycle engines start to rev in teh background, Very cool, indeed. Vocal samples are also used well, but are really audible without headphones. I shoudl also make note of this songs length. 6 minutes, give or take 5 seconds. Quite the opus, if you ask me. My only grudge is the remix is a little repetitive, and is pretty boring by 6 minutes. I advise you to get this well done remix, now!

The chiptune beginning earns this one a place in my heart...

The blipping that seems out of time with the chiptune-ness, however...kinda irks me...I do *not* like that.

I think the way the square wave plays the whole of the melody is a little unimaginative...I would have preferred a trancy lead to come in and take over...slowly fading in and eventually taking it over, y'know?

The part where chords play...Im not too keen on them, they seem a little off key for the tune...too much so for dissonance, in my opinion.

Repetition is this remixes demon...there's just too much of it...
If the track were shorter it would have been far better in my opinion...but the lack of extreme variation throughout the piece makes it worse, I think...

And the ending is a little off, too...I would have preferred the background synths fade out and the last note on the square wave to 'stutter' as it were

But its still good though...of course its good, I recommend it to anyone looking for a kinda ambient trancey track.

Woah! This is the best "Mini-Mix" of any of the mini-mix songs, in order now are, "Bubble Bobble: Speed Garage" (3rd), "Excitebike: TitleTechnoPhatulence" (something like that and 2nd), finally "Hang On: Journey to the Finish" (obviously 1st)! I really liked the BGM from this game and it serves to be a catchy part of the tune!

Sweat beat we got here!!! Great replacement man, this is an excellent tune!!
